Instructions

Prepare the Lassi

Combine Greek yogurt, sugar, cashews, cardamom powder, and water in a blender.
Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Add a little more water if needed to reach your desired consistency.

Strain (Optional)

For an extra-silky smooth lassi, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve.

Optional Whipping

For a thicker, creamier lassi, whip the mixture with a whisk or hand mixer for 3-5 minutes. This step is optional.

Chill and Serve

Add ice cubes to the lassi and chill thoroughly.
Serve chilled in shot glasses or small serving glasses. Sprinkle with a pinch of extra cardamom powder for garnish, if desired.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Lassi Shots

Use high-quality ingredients: The flavor of your lassi will be significantly enhanced by using good-quality Greek yogurt and freshly ground cardamom.
Adjust sweetness to taste: Start with 3 tablespoons of sugar and add more or less depending on your preference. Honey or other sweeteners can also be used.
Experiment with flavors: Try adding a pinch of saffron, rosewater, or other spices to customize the flavor profile of your lassi.
Make it ahead: You can prepare the lassi mixture ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. Add ice just before serving.
